DIY Chevron Rug
7:30 AM
Chevron - it's just so hot right now and we are loving this DIY project from our guest blogger Sarah.
Supplies:
2 yards of fabric
(iron first)
6x9 drop cloth
(iron first)
spray
adhesive
sewing
machine
I made mine 4x6
with a little extra on each side to fold under before sewing it.
After everything is
cut, lay your fabric out on top of the drop cloth evenly.
After the spray
adhesive has dried (I waited about 30 minutes) turn it over and fold up all 4
edges and measure where you will sew the border. I did a 1 1/4 in border on all
sides.
Pin and/or make a mark where you will sew your
border on all four sides.
After that your rug should look something like
this, with all four sides folded under and ready to be sewn.
Sew straight down where you pinned on all four
sides, making a border around the entire rug.
And that's it...all
that's left is to find a place to put your new rug.
I put ours in
front of the bed in the guest room.
{I'll do a post on
the full redo of our guest bedroom soon}
Feeling inspired?? Send us pictures of your DIY chevron items!
